How to recover photos after restore without backup?

Hello
Basically, a couple weeks ago my iPod 4th gen died.
I went out to buy a new charger. This charger worked for a while, but then stopped.
Every time I plugged it in, it would show me the screen that indicates
that I have to connect my iPod to iTunes.
So, I bought a new charger and used it to connect to iTunes,
only to find out that my iPod was in Recovery Mode!
The only option was to restore it. I tried to back it up, however the options
were all greyed out. A pop-up indicated that I could get my contacts and what not
back after the restore, so I did it.
After the restore, my iPod went back to the factory settings.
I was happy, thinking that there was a backup of all my photos saved to my computer.
Yet when I check iTunes, I could not restore the backup!
I am honestly so devastated. I could care less about the contacts and apps, but I had
pictures of my younger cousins and family collected for over 4 years.
I'd really love to get these back. I tried using those recovery programs, but nothing
worked for me! I also tried to get a back up from an older computer I used, but it said that I'd
never done a back up on that computer.
This whole situation has upset me, I'm not sure of what to do now.
I just really want those photos back.
Thank you for reading, sorry that this is so long.
Any solutions? (iPod 4th gen, iOS 6.1.6)

I think this is because
I backed up a long time ago, and the iTunes update may have erased the back up?
No, updating iTunes does not delete any iOS device backups.

How to recover photos after restoring iPod touch?

Yesterday, there was an update for the iOS 6, I believe. When I pressed the update button, a message popped up saying that there was a problem with my iPod touch 4G and that I need to restore it. I had absolutely no idea why that message would pop up in the first place because my iPod was working just fine. But I couldn't update my iPod to the newest version if I didn't do what iTunes says... so I was about to restore my iPod, but then I was worried that all of my photos would disappear. So I decided to update my iOS later so that I could transfer all my files on to my computer. I then unplugged my iPod, and tried to turn it on but the home screen wouldn't pop - no matter what I did, all the screen showed was an itunes icon on top with a USB plug-in cord at the bottom. So I had no choice but to restore my iPod. The thing is, once I restored my iPod and all, my photos were all gone and I did not use iCloud as a back-up since a few months ago. All of my recent photos are now gone and I have no idea how to recover them. I've tried programs that aim to recover deleted photos, but they didn't work.
Is there a way to recover photos after restoring the iPod Touch?

Hello,
It is very important to backup your device to the computer before updating or restoring.
You can restore your device to a previous backup, all the photos that were there when you made the backup should return with it, but I'm afraid that any photos taken or saved after the last backup are unrecoverable.
I hope this helps.

They would only be stored in your backup. If they didn't restore properly all you can do is try restoring the backup again.

If you didn't back them up, such as to an appropriate photo app's photo library on a Mac or PC, there is nothing to recover.

Recovering photos after restoring backup overwrites content on phone

There were two iPhones on one iCloud account. Randomly the contacts from one phone ended up on the other and were deleted. This caused the contacts from the original phone to be deleted also. Upon trying to restore the deleted contacts, the content from the other phone overwrote the content of the original phone (because the original wasn't backed up on the cloud). The photos of the original phone were overwritten with the restoration of the backup. Is there any way that the photos can be retrieved? The music from the original phone remains which leads me to think that there might be some way to get the pictures back

Camera roll photos can only be restored by restoring the backup. If the backup doesn't contain the photos you're looking for, they can't be recovered. You music and other purchased media is redownloaded from the iTunes store when you restore a backup. If the music was on the phone that was backed up, it will be restored to the device you restore the backup to.

Pics taken with iphone?
They would only be in the backup that itunes makes when syncing. If the iphone has not been synced since the pics were taken, then they are gone.
It is important to sync regularly and import the pics from the iphone regularly as well.
Photo library pics should still be on your computer as that is where they came from in the first place.

How can I see my messages after restoring from backup?

I have 2.1gb of messages saved in my storage on my 4s but they're not in messages after restoring from backup.
How can I get all my messages back in my message app because I know they're their it's just a matter of getting them restored into the app.

When you restored your phone from an old backup, it wiped ALL data from your phone and replaced it with the data from that backup. It's like your phone went back in time.
Your data that was on the phone before you did the restore is now gone forever. There is no way to get these data back.

After restoring from backup on iCloud, my photos have been "downloading" for 2 days with no progress at all.

After restoring from backup on iCloud, my photos have been "downloading" for 2 days with no progress at all. Everything else seems to by fine, however. I have all my apps, contacts, even my photostream back, but my camera roll has said "downloading 137 of 1,345" for two days. I really don't want to have to start over as the whole process took almost 3 hours. Help?

Someone mentioned that syncing with ITunes, making sure that photos are being synced - even with an empty folder, fixed the problem. I tried it and it didn't work for me. Anyone got any answers that don't include losing the photos or erasing and restoring from backup again?

Same problem here, and it's not isolated.

I believe you will find you can again sync Photos if you delete the "iPod Photo Cache", but predict that any subsequent attempt will fail. In my case, the enxt sync removes all the photos again - I've seen other reports of error messages upon sync. Mine just fails silently. :-)

It just means some spammer is using your email address as the sender address for their spam. This is very easy to do - anyone can do it simply by changing the From email address in their email program. It does not mean your account was hacked or you have a virus (there are no current Mac viruses on the loose anyway, nor has there been for years).
There's nothing you can do about it. It can happen to anyone and the spammers will move on to using someone else's email address before long.

How to recover photos from stolen iphone?

You might be able to recover any photos that were in an iCloud Photo Stream if you had an iCloud account and used Photo Stream. But without a backup of your library or MB hard drive you won't be able to recover any of the iPhoto Library photos as Jim has already pointed out.

If the camera roll photos were on your device when you last backed it up, restoring the backup should recover them. Deleted photo stream photos can't be recovered unless they were also in the camera roll.
